Created by digital design powerhouse d'strict — the studio behind Arte Museum's renowned exhibitions — visitors can explore everything from towering digital waterfalls to interactive multimedia pieces, all set to BTS's music.
Inside the ARIRANG GARDEN: 5 Stunning Installations
The exhibition features five distinct media art installations. In 'No. 29,' silhouettes of all seven BTS members appear within a minimalist digital landscape, accompanied by resonant bell tones. 'Body to Body' uses the signature crimson of ARIRANG alongside flowing light particles that pulse with the music, reimagining Korean aesthetics through a contemporary lens.
'SWIM' brings the iconic STARRY BEACH artwork into the GARDEN zone for the first time, with seven orcas symbolizing the members gliding through a starlit digital ocean. '2.0' recreates the feeling of stepping directly into a music video, turning the entire gallery into a cinematic set. Rounding out the experience, 'Into the Sun' journeys through Las Vegas, New York, and Busan, South Korea — tracing the global path of both the artist and the exhibition.
The ARIRANG CAFE: Drinks That Come Alive
Between installations, visitors can recharge at the ARIRANG CAFE, where specially crafted BTS THE CITY-themed beverages create interactive tabletop displays. It's a multisensory treat that the whole group will enjoy.
According to d'strict representatives, this project merges Arte Museum's digital media expertise with BTS's music in an entirely new format. As part of New York's broader 'THE CITY' initiative, the experience is designed to deliver a memorable audiovisual journey for a worldwide audience.
